    uniE621 New age of farming
    Agrilet is a company birthed from the emerging agtech space in Africa. After operating for the last 3 years, the stakeholders sought new opportunities that could exponentially grow the young agtech firm. I became Agrilet’s branding partner at a pretty exciting time for me as it was about to go through the furnace of change and emerge to become something more. With new insights and perspective the company wanted to do more than just pay investors ROI’s, rather they wanted to integrate themselves into the revolution of African agriculture and be part of a narrative greater than themselves. At the time, an unfortunate number of brands in the agtech space conformed to narrow specifications, and the lack of innovation drove the industry to revert to generic and repetitive practices. The challenge was to radically position Agrilet by demonstrating a non-conformist approach within a conformist environment, and to build a strong story that could align with the young agtech’s new ambition as well as figure out a way to leverage brand as a tool for continuous and consistent growth in it’s new found space.
    uniE621 What was lost?
    What is lost? During my research, I stumbled on a discussion on Quora which was a great inspiration for this project as I was able to empathize with the stories told and could even relate to some myself. Although the stories were different but kept a common theme which was that every business owner or leader had lost something in the cause of their journey to making a change. Hence the question “What was lost?. The goals of Inner Vanguard was to build a community that could support entrepreneurs as well as business leaders whose ideas were reshaping society. The best way to build a community is to empathize with the community in the most authentic way possible. From our research, I knew that to connect with the community we had to first empathize with them by recognizing their sacrifices made in the journey of reshaping the world.graphicdesigner branding illustrator logo designer
